Anyone seen any signs of wave 8 yet in DSM? I found wave 7 finally (-wild bill). Now i cant wait to find major bludd... let me know if anyone has seen anything...

I saw all of Wave 7 last night at the Ankeny Wal-Mart (probably three cases worth), but no signs whatsoever of Wave 8. From the looks of it, most people are finding them at Wal-Mart stores as opposed to Target stores. But all of the pegs of the Wal-Marts around here are pretty much full of previous waves. Might be a while...

I haven't seen any wave 8 or wave 7 in Des Moines. I'm beginning to lose faith in Wal-Mart, Target, K-mart, and Hasbro. Where's the love, guys!!!!

AGREED! I picked up all my wave 7 figs at the Ankeny Wal-mart as well, but have seen no wave 8. The Targets I've been to seem like they're giving up on selling the 25th line! Seriously I saw 1 Buzzer and 1 hooded Cobra Commander @ SS Target and that is all that has been there for like 3 months!

I usually do the whole "grab Buzzer, scan him and see if there are any figures in the storeroom" thing. So far, no dice. I'm not sure if they wait until all of the figures are gone to order more or what. Seems logical that they'd want to carry the same product as Wal-Mart to be competitive, but maybe they're concentrating on other toys, like the Indiana Jones figures. I don't think I've even seen a Wave 7 at Target yet. Normally, it's one Buzzer, one Cobra Commander and fifteen old Comic Packs. Ugh...

Went to DSM, Ankeny and Clive. No wave 8.

Still haven't seen any wave 8 in DSM, or anywhere else in the area for that matter. Where is this fabled wave 8?!?!?!?

Found 3 cases of wave 8 (or 4) in Cedar Rapids...and I ran into a "tanker" Snake Eyes Ninja Joe...I think was his name
